I think you need to look at the Copy task and FilterChains as a means of modifying files as you copy them:

For example when creating the install, I have to update the contents of some files. Currently doing this by hand which is not fun too. I was hoping for find/replace commands in files, text only, no need of binary data, to update stuff like versions, languages, and such variable elements depending on the current build.
